I like the concept, but it feels poorly executed. My biggest issue with this is just how dumb the MC is. Despite having a super computer computer for a brain he still makes obvious my stakes and doesn't think ahead at all. (They also don't seem to explain his powers well. like, does he think at the speed of a computer or not? if not, he couldn't interpret the immense amount of data in every interaction. if yes, he would live incredibly slowly compared to how fast he can think, which creates a dozen more problems for his character.) His stupidity shows early on and it is breathtaking. he gets attacked by strange assailants and can't imagine who he offended to deserve this, despite having, the other day, crushed the balls of an influential young master-type bully. their conflicts were clearly stated and there's no way he shouldn't have immediately thought this was related to him, but he ignores the obvious and is clueless for a while. later, he publicly earns a big reward that others cover and takes no precautions to ensure his safety concerning it. then he gets attacked upon returning home and his sister kidnapped by people after his prize,barely surviving it. when he learned that they were here for his prize and realizes that others would likely come after it as well, my immediate thought was 'oh, I guess he'll just upload this online to solve the issue. ge doesn't need the technique anyways, as he said so, and not doing so risks more people coming. he loses nothing and ensures his safety.' I expect that was the conclusion many reached, but this idiot has no idea what to do. he has to call his friend and have him sort out his problems. it takes him ages to figure out that exact solution, but he wastes time and resources, and risks his and his sisters safety yet again before stumbling on that conclusion. I'm sure I could go back and find more examples, but I don't want to bother with this novel any longer. I'd just roll my eyes at a normal dumb MC, but this guy's superpower is to analyse things like a computer, so it's especially distracting to have him actually he a total idiot.
